A major difference to the new GA8500 model is that any optional items,
including AutoSPRAY and AutoSTEER can now be ordered for the
GA8500 standard model.
1.1.2 The GA8500
The GA8500, see Figure 1-1, represents the culmination of years of
development from RINEX to supply a single body computer system
suitable for vehicle guidance and data management in the agricultural
sector. The GA8500 incorporates the latest in industrial electronics with
miniaturised hardware components, which enables the single body
construction of the GA8500.
The new streamlined hardware system minimises the cable clutter and
makes the system easier to install, relocate between vehicles and
service.
The GA8500 has a single interface cable which exists the
console at the rear of the screen to the AS300 Hub, for all peripheral
connections.
Furthermore the GA8500 incorporates the latest in low power
management design which enables the system to operate without
cooling fans or large heat sinks. In addition to this the GA8500 has an
intelligent power system which can sense ignition status and abnormal
input power to protect the computer from fluctuations in vehicle power
supply systems.
The operation of the GA8500 and its features are described in Section 2.
